[b]jloxsemi[/b] keep at it, I found it kinda "clicked" one day and now they are reasonably consistant every time.
In the dawg, I tend to feel the way the aircraft is "talking to me" - vibration, sound of the air past the canopy (or rather the sound of the air noise dropping off to near silent) and finally the amount of right rudder that I have been feeding in to keep the left wing level with the horizon... then its time to kick left and waggle the stick about :lol: (normally forward and right) so the nose goes through where the wing was..
Thats the easy one on the dog, to the left, with the propellor.
Going right, every one Ive ever done has needed a helping hand with a reduction of throttle to drag me round past the 45deg "like an elastic band" as I was once told. Seems to work...the ruddering time is slightly earlier.
Out of interest I read a very recent AIIB report on a chippie that lost engine power in a low altitude stall turn and didnt re-start... Mmm I do mine quite a bit higher than they did, my Balls arnt big enough for that :0)
[b]Ray [/b]- what engine have you got in the Firefly? (I believe there are various types?)
[b]jloxsemi[/b] how does it compare to the Bulldog XX521? (Im guessing thats yours)
